Flying solo while her husband was in New York, the Princess of Wales looked ready for business as she embraced a new role last week.
After being appointed Commodore-in-Chief of the Fleet Air Arm last month, Kate got straight to work with a visit to Royal Naval Air Station (RNAS) Yeovilton in Somerset – one of the busiest military airfields in the UK.
During an active day, the Princess also managed to have a few laughs with staff and crew when an inflatable life jacket took her by surprise.
A SURPRISING ENCOUNTER
On arrival, Kate was a picture of poise and elegance, wearing a favourite black blazer from Holland Cooper with a pair of black trousers and Gianvito Rossi heels as she visited key areas of the station, including the air traffic control tower and a Merlin Mk4 helicopter, which is used by the Royal Marines.
But it was a simple life jacket that seemed to make the biggest impression. As she arrived at a vast aircraft hangar, the Princess examined a range of survival kit including helmets, flotation rafts and the life jacket, which she was asked by technical staff if she’d like to try on.
